Xiao Wuji had barely landed when Ah Yin immediately asked about the matter that had occupied her thoughts day and night.
The Blue Silver King had also been longing for His Majesty's arrival day and night. Together with the Blue Silver Grass, it cast its domain and explored toward the place called Holy Soul Village.
However, out of consideration for His Majesty's concern, the Blue Silver King didn't investigate every detail.
After learning that Tang San of Holy Soul Village had Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power, and that Tang Hao, the blacksmith, was a drunkard—facts that matched what the book said—it began reporting according to the book.
"So it was true!"
Xiao Wuji heard Ah Yin's voice through clenched teeth. The body in his hands shook violently.
Once she had calmed down, Ah Yin requested, "Blue Silver King, I want you to Sacrifice yourself to this young man."
"I am willing to serve Your Majesty." The Blue Silver King knew that with a Sacrifice, it could not only skip fifteen thousand years of cultivation but also become a god directly. It agreed without hesitation.
Xiao Wuji's eyes brightened. A deep-colored Soul Ring settled around him, and vast, pure energy poured into his body, causing the purple qi within him to swell rapidly.
When the light before Xiao Wuji's eyes faded, the thick vines atop the ancient tree had vanished without a trace. A sparkling blue object dropped to the ground with a plop.
A Soul Bone! Xiao Wuji's heart leaped with joy. He stepped forward, picked up the glowing object, and examined it closely. Like the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, it was a right leg bone.
Ah Yin said solemnly, "Your First Soul Ring is eighty-five thousand years old. I doubt anyone else can surpass that age."
Xiao Wuji was a disciple of Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall's new pope. There was no need for Ah Yin to say anything special—Spirit Hall would already be at war with Tang Hao and Tang San.
She didn't expect Xiao Wuji to deal with Tang Hao, but if he could kill Tang San and avenge her son, then her assignment today would not be in vain.
Xiao Wuji thanked her, stored the right leg bone in his Soul Tool, set Ah Yin aside, and summoned his Martial Soul.
After he added a Soul Ring, the sword in his hand changed dramatically. Its entire body became a crystalline sapphire blue, and the words Heavenly Reliance gleamed even more brilliantly.
Then he put away his Martial Soul and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
An eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King was no match for a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo. Its Sacrifice had greatly increased his inner power, and his Soul Power Level should have surpassed level twenty. He could obtain another Soul Ring now.
What should he fuse with for his second Soul Ring?
After thinking it over, Xiao Wuji decided he would have to look to the novel again.
After cultivating a little and familiarizing himself with his strength, Xiao Wuji watched the protagonist's actions on the page and continued updating.
After a period of recuperation, Yu Xiaogang could just barely walk by the time he returned to the academy.
However, according to Tang San's estimate, the poisoning and injuries had badly damaged his vitality. It would take at least a month for him to make a full recovery.
Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang lie down on the bed, then rushed off to class without stopping.
Tang San, I'm going to make you suffer!
The Soul Skill had changed. Naturally, Tang San could no longer defeat Xiao Chenyu as easily as he had with Entanglement.
Knowing Tang San's martial arts strengths, Xiao Wuji used the Blue Silver Pole Vault Soul Skill to simulate his fighting style.
Not long after Tang San left, his chest grew warm. Knowing that the ancestor was signaling him again, he hurried to a secluded spot to check.
[Chapter 11: Combining Martial Arts and Soul Skills]
After obtaining his Soul Skill, Tang San felt that he could cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill again. Once he obtained eighteen Lone Bamboo Soul Rings, he could leap to the Divine Realm. He gave it no further thought.
Now he saw a title and his blood surged. That's right, that's right! I'm a disciple of the Tang Sect. How could I forget the Tang Sect Secret Arts?
Tang San quickly read on. He saw himself using the Tang Sect Secret Arts together with the Blue Silver Pole Vault to defeat the noble students.
Chapter 12 was fairly simple. A teacher who brought him food, registering with Spirit Hall, and finding a job at the blacksmith's shop—among those events, the teacher gave him a method of cultivation, a path much like cultivating inner power, which deepened his respect.
Yu Xiaogang also received the update then. He was panicking badly in the Soul Hunting Forest. He had never heard of any of those things in his roughly fifty years of life, so he hurriedly pulled himself together and began reading.
Xiao Wuji wrote another passage for Yu Xiaogang about the Lone Bamboo's unusual qualities. Tang San's identity was special, and a compatible Lone Bamboo would often Sacrifice itself automatically.
The Lone Bamboo also had another trait: once someone collected eighteen Lone Bamboo Soul Rings, they could leap to the Divine Realm and live forever.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up. "Xiao San, you have to take me to the Divine Realm!"
Thinking of ascending to the Divine Realm, standing tall and proud as he announced the book's title from above—"I Taught a God"—Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had drunk immortal dew. His badly weakened body seemed to recover by half in an instant.
As for the next chapter, Xiao Wuji wrote about Yu Xiaogang giving Tang San a cultivation manual and telling him to register with Spirit Hall.
"With a Martial Soul Theory master like me teaching you, there's really no need to practice Spirit Hall's cultivation method." Yu Xiaogang climbed out of bed, found the book on the shelf, and said with a tut.
He had practiced for many years, yet he was still only level twenty-nine, with almost no hope of reaching level thirty. Clearly, practicing or not made no difference.
Still, since the book said so, he might as well give it a try.
[Finished reading the latest chapters of I Taught a God.]
[Follow count: 54.]
Watching Xiao Wu on the screen, Xiao Wuji came up with an idea for his second Soul Ring.
If he updated quickly enough to make Xiao Wu Sacrifice herself to him, he would not only get a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring but also a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Then, if he brought Xiao Wu back to life, perhaps he could easily get Soul Rings and Soul Bones from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python too.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Wuji kept updating, though he checked on Xiao Wu's situation from time to time.
At the back hill of Notting Academy, the four protagonists—Xiao Wu, Tang San, Wang Sheng, and Xiao Chenyu—ran into each other.
Xiao Wu already knew that her hired hand, Tang San, would come, so she remained calm and composed. Wang Sheng knew Sister Xiao Wu was formidable and met the noble students' aggressive posturing without fear.
Xiao Chenyu had learned that Xiao Wu was a little girl with a Hundred-Year Soul Ring and was full of wild imaginings. Tang San, who considered himself a disciple of the Tang Sect and the future sect master of the Tang Sect on Douluo Continent, absolutely refused to become anyone's pet. He rushed over at once.
"Have they started fighting? I'll handle it." Tang San stepped with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, but still felt he wasn't fast enough. He used the Blue Silver Pole Vault, bounding forward in leaps.
The students present were all astonished to see him swoop in like a god descending from the heavens.
Xiao Wu smiled and asked, "Boss Xiao, my people are here. Which of you will go first?"
Xiao Chenyu said coolly, "Liu Long, you're up."
A tall upper-year student stepped forward. Yellow light shone in his hand, and a staff more than two meters long appeared in his grasp.
